The Goetia is a section of "The Lesser Key of Solomon."  It is often
mistaken for the complete book, which it is not.  The most common edition of
the Goetia is the Mathers/Crowley edition. (The Goetia: the lesser key of
Solomon the king; Aleister Crowley, translated originally by Samuel
MacGregor Mathers.)

The only complete version of The Lesser Key is "Lemegeton:Clavicula
Salomonis" by White, Nelson & Anne

The Greater Key of Solomon gets into a little more specifics & details. It
is divided into two major section. The first is combination of High & Low
magickal methods. The second includes various tools & weapons of the
magician. (The Greater Key of Solomon / S.L.M. Mathers)

From more info on the Goetia & Grimoires, try posting in alt. Goetia
newsgroup.
